We're excited to be back with you as we kick off the 2024 season of the podcast! As usual, we'll answer some fun getting-to-know-you questions and share a few great quotes to start the show. Along with our discussion on delayed gratification in financial planning, we'll also take a look at an interesting article from Barron's, titled, "Americans' Retirement Thinking Is Stuck In The Past."

Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:
